Preparation Steps
Prepare the Jalapeños
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill the Jalapeños
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. If using bacon, you can chop the cooked bacon and sprinkle it on top of the cheese filling.
Bake
Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Vaquero jalapeños warm!
